Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a delivery support system that automatically allocates delivery routes and vehicles based on inventory information and local demand by integrating multiple delivery bases and delivery vehicles within and outside a region. In particular, the present invention relates to the technical field of advanced vehicle allocation control, including collaboration between regional bases, demand forecasting, disaster support, user notification, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, local deliveries of food and daily necessities were decided by each base or supplier individually, determining delivery methods and allocations. This resulted in low overall vehicle dispatch efficiency and many issues such as inventory shortages and delivery delays. Furthermore, inter-regional support during disasters or busy periods required manual coordination, making it difficult to respond quickly. Furthermore, notifications and progress checks to users were one-way, limiting the value of the experience. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 7084123 (paragraphs 0010 to 0014, Figure 3) discloses a structure for movement and route selection between distribution centers, but does not include configurations such as dynamic allocation based on regional demand information, disaster response, and AI character notification. [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 7516021 (paragraphs 0009 to 0012, Figure 2) discloses a system for allocating delivery vehicles within a region, but does not disclose the base collaboration structure, cloud-based learning optimization mechanism, or user interaction notification configuration. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] There were issues such as a lack of coordination between bases in delivery operations, a mismatch between supply and demand, a lack of support systems during busy periods and disasters, and a simplified notification experience. This invention comprehensively solves these issues and provides a delivery support system that improves delivery efficiency, stable supply, disaster response, and user experience. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This invention aggregates inventory, shipping, and demand information from multiple delivery centers in a region on the cloud, and automatically assigns optimal vehicles and routes using a vehicle dispatch control mechanism.

[0006] The vehicle dispatch control mechanism refers to the current location, load capacity, remaining battery level, and personnel operating status of the delivery vehicle, and selects the most suitable base and vehicle.

[0007] The system has a base coordination mechanism that allows for the supplementation of supplies between bases, the dispatch of support vehicles during busy periods, and the movement of support vehicles in the event of a disaster, enabling dynamic logistics support between regions.

[0008] It also has the ability to continuously learn and optimize demand forecasts and allocation accuracy based on past performance data stored in the cloud.

[0009] Furthermore, in the event of an emergency delivery or request for assistance, an inter-regional coordination mechanism will be in place to dynamically coordinate and dispatch supplies and vehicles from cooperative bases outside the surrounding area.

[0010] This system also has a notification UX mechanism that connects to the user's device and notifies them of information such as delivery schedules, progress, delays, and redelivery via voice or text via an AI character. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] This invention dramatically improves delivery efficiency both within and outside the region through inter-base collaboration and automatic vehicle dispatch control. Demand forecasting and disaster relief will also become easier, increasing flexibility as a social infrastructure. Furthermore, the AI ​​character notification function for users will significantly improve convenience, peace of mind, and experience value, making the system easy to use for the elderly and those in need of support. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. This system is configured to integrate and control multiple delivery bases and delivery vehicles in each region through a cloud-based delivery management server. Each base is equipped with inventory sensors and demand input terminals, and the vehicles are equipped with GPS, load modules, and battery information collection units.

[0013] The vehicle dispatch control server allocates the optimal delivery base and vehicle based on user order information, local demand, and shipping schedules, and issues automatic dispatch instructions.In addition, during normal times, the system responds using local bases, but in times of disaster or busy periods, it dynamically connects with cooperating bases outside the region, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of relief supplies.

[0014] Furthermore, delivery schedules, delay information, and alternative suggestions are notified to the user's device via an AI character, and the system can switch between voice and text, enabling smooth communication with the user and support for receiving the parcel.

Claims

1. This is a delivery support system that efficiently delivers food products by linking multiple delivery bases and delivery vehicles within a region.It is an automatic vehicle allocation / regional base collaboration delivery support system that is characterized by having a vehicle allocation control mechanism that aggregates inventory information, shipping schedule information, and regional demand information at each delivery base and automatically assigns delivery routes and delivery vehicles based on this information.

2. This is the automatic vehicle dispatch / regional base collaboration delivery support system described in claim 1, characterized in that the dispatch control mechanism selects the optimal delivery base and vehicle for each delivery request, taking into consideration the delivery vehicle's current location, load capacity, remaining battery level, and personnel operating status.
